Formula 1 is after Silverstone also in Monza for the second time this year tested the racing weekend format s sprint race. The result of the qualifications determines the starting order of the sprint race, and the result of it determines the order of the racers for Sunday's main race.
But that could be next year changed. "I think this will probably be the key question of whether we take the next step and make the sprint race more independent,”Is Brown started in his interview for colleagues from motorsport. comwho plays with the thought that he could format slightly next year changed. "I think we need to look at the number of points awarded and how we are going to determine the starting order. Should it be the same as before to do this on Friday ?,”Set Brown in space question.
Friday's qualifiers would determine the starting order for Saturday's sprint and Sunday's main race
Specifically amendment looks like this: Sprint race she is scheduled to become on Saturday more independent and not like this year to set the starting lineup order for Sunday’s main race. Because at that time, all dreams of points before Sunday's race can be shattered if a sprinter racer damages or collides. "Perez dropped out of the sprint race at Silverstone, which significantly affected his race on Sunday,”He remembers Brown, which therefore proposes that qualifiers on Friday determine starting line order so for sprinting feces main race.
That would qualifications regain their weight and value and pole position would not be awarded after winning a sprint race, but for real the fastest lap on qualifications. Race on Saturday, which is long around 100 kilometers, would offer an additional opportunity for championship points. Without affecting the starting position of Sunday’s race, runners would take the sprint with full throttle. Because of this, an increase in rewards is also being considered in terms of points. At that time, only the first three in the system get you 3-2-1. "There are many things we can do. We're looking at that right now,”He explained Brown.
Sprint races in venues where it is difficult to carry out the current usual qualifiers?
Some idea will Liberty Medium presented to the umbrella organization FIA and teams. The new proposal, for example, will reopen the possibilities to sprint races take place on venues, which are for the moment the concept of qualifications is inappropriate, as Monaco. The racers welcomed the draft, the sports boss points out. “We talked about this with the racers around Silverstone. And in doing so, some constructive comments have fallen. Some have questioned the pole position. They also asked if the sprint race might not become completely independent and not as a successive event with qualifiers and the main race," so Brown.
formula 1 will still wait for third sprint race test this season, which will most likely be in Brazilto then be over ideas and suggestions improvements decided for the best. What is already certain at that time is that it will only be about new format. "I don’t believe it’s going to be some kind of mix. I think if we vary too much with things, it could cause confusion for our fans. For this reason, I believe that it will be one format," Ends Brown.
